Biggest takeaway is Trump team has confirmed the former president had high-level, sensitive and restricted material at his home for many months before allowing archives access to it (archives didn't know what was there)

Confusing to assess how this letter helps Trump, which whoever gave it to Solomon seemed to think it would. Among other things, it confirms our reporting that SAP material - highly restricted information - was part of what was returned from MAL https://t.co/ZaFDNPD5Bg

Trump released the letter from the National Archive where they originally asked for the classified documents back, and no one is really sure why he released it. They were about as explicit and specific as possible, "hair on fire" regarding the request.

I hope the success of House of the Dragon inspires other studios to greenlight prequels set 172 years before the events of the original series. What *was* happening in the Cheers universe in 1810?

Aaahahahahahaa holy shit the Dems actually stuck an amendment to the Clean Air Act into Biden's IRA that explicitly defines CO2 as an air pollutant, giving the EPA back its ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and directly addressing the Supreme Court's ruling.o

Did SCOTUS really rule that EPA couldn't regulate CO2 under the clean air act? I don't think that's what happened. I thought environmentalists were worried SCOTUS would rule that way in West Virginia v. EPA, but then Roberts wrote a fairly narrow opinion that said EPA couldn't use generation shifting, but it still left in tact plenty of other feasible ways to regulate CO2.
